Evaluation Model
How the Eurasian Entrepreneurship Award evaluates entrepreneurial excellence.
Submissions are evaluated by independent experts using the Venture Panel Model — a weighted scoring framework inspired by venture capital evaluation standards.
If no submission in a category reaches the required standard, the jury may determine that the category will not have a winner for that edition.

The independent evaluation process
